Amman, August 12 (Petra) – Secretary-General of the Amman-based Royal Commission for Jerusalem Affairs (RCJA), Abdullah Tawfiq Kanaan, stated the Israeli occupation government employs a systematic strategy, aimed to Judaize, Israelize, and Hebraize Jerusalem and occupied Palestine.

He noted that this strategy is based on imprisonment, displacement, and genocide, as well as storming Islamic and Christian holy sites and implementing an expulsion policy, based on military orders and Israeli court rulings.

In a statement to "Petra," Kanaan said Israel's escalating expulsion policy targets all areas of Jerusalem, aimed to break Jerusalemites ' morale and expel the city's inhabitants, particularly steadfast defenders of Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Old City, and various parts of Jerusalem.

Kanaan added that the expulsion policy is racist and will be shattered by Jerusalemites' steadfastness.

On statistics, he announced the Israeli government issued approximately 2,386 deportation orders from Jerusalem between 2021 and 2025, including about 1,499 orders banning Palestinians from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque.

This year, he noted that these numbers are expected to rise "sharply," adding that Israel has issued approximately 762 deportation orders in the first half of 2026.
